Megamind

When a cunning supervillain (voiced by Will Ferrell) accidentally kills his crime-fighting nemesis, the rogue suddenly finds life boring and uninspired. So, he creates a new enemy (Jonah Hill) who seeks to destroy the world, forcing Megamind to play the hero role for once in his life.

For Dreamworks, Megamind doesn’t hit the same emotional highs as How to Train Your Dragon- easily their best animated feature to date – nor Despicable Me, which it slightly resembles, but director Tom McGrath (Madagascar) fills in all the kid-pleasing requisites satisfyingly. The action is fast and thrilling, with enough geeked-out, hyperactive energy and head-spinning, 3D-ready aerial gymnastics to engage the shortest of attention spans. The use of hard rock staples like “Highway to Hell” and “Welcome to the Jungle” on the soundtrack adds an element of staleness though, and the jokes don’t always fly (pop culture reference groan: Brando impersonations).

I personally found this movie wanting. I enjoyed the characters but the story line used was one that has been used far to many times. I was hoping for something a little more original. great movie for the kids though.

This is aimed at children, there are no 'adult' jokes and the humour is mostly 'butt' jokes (pretty much Will Ferrell's standard jokes really...) Get this out for the kids to watch, but do the ironing, the dusting or the dishes instead!
